Mint CocoChip Ice Cream

2093 g

I truly love mint anything! Mint tea, mint on potatoes, mint in smoothies and now mint in my ice cream. And this ice cream is not only dairy free and refined sugar free….. but utterly delicious. I concocted this recipe because my 12 year old is a mint-a-holic just like his mom.:) And we were gagging for something minty and cold over the weekend. But not only is mint uber refreshing and delicious it’s nutritious too!
Mint is amazing at aiding in:
Skin Care and Pimples: While mint oil is a good antiseptic, mint juice (yes, the juice!) is an excellent skin cleanser. It soothes skin, and helps to cure infections and itchiness, as well as being a good way to reduce pimples.
Respiratory Disorders and Coughs: The strong fragrance of mint is very effective in clearing up congestion of the nose, throat, and lungs, which in turn relieves respiratory disorders that often result from asthma and the common cold.
Weight Loss: Mint stimulates the digestion of fat! You can chop the mint leaves and add them to any dish!
